A Day in the Life; Holy Illumination

It began with an innocent child so full of life. Her eyes full of wonderment and curiosity. This young soul is on her first spiritual journey and she doesn't even know it. Or does she?
She was in loving hands and surrounded by her friends and family.

The process began in the entrance of the church with the prayer of deliverance and the lighting of the candles.

It was there that the priest laid his hand to her head and baby Grace was blessed with the life giving spirit.









Baby Grace wide-eyed and ready to receive the Sacrament.
The Baptismal bath is being prepared for the child.









The scent of sacred herbal smoke fills the air. This ritual is thought to arouse the spirit of devotion and echo the odor of sanctity.












It is time for the sanctification of the waters. The bath is called Enlightenment and receives the blessing. The candles are lit.









The washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit. The bottle is blessed and the baptismal receives the oils.











Since the beginning of the world, water , so humble, a wonderful a creature, has been the source of life and fruitfulness. By submerging the body it brings an enlightenment to the newly Baptised.












The anointing of the oils to the feet, hands, and head.
Anoint means to be in the presence of God.










The last half of the sacrament is done in her newly blessed gown. She may now advance to the front of the church for the remainder of the ceremony.










The prayers are sited and the ceremony concludes with Baby Grace being the first of the church members to receive communion. She is now a member of the church and a brand new christian.









It is now time for this little princess to greet her family and friends who so lovingly supported her.









With the presence of an angel and the help of her God parents she is lifted up in illumination.









Thank you for your visit. I just wanted to share this beautiful day in the life of my Grand Princess.



Peace to all and your Spirit.

Your Beautiful Mind

What lives inside your beautiful mind? Are you inspired, full of positive energy, do you feel like a winner?

Why am I asking you all of these questions?

Lately I have been thinking about the power of the mind and positive thinking. In my early years I always thought of myself as being lucky and I had positive thoughts and energy. As I have grown a little older and been beaten down by life, so to speak, I have become much more negative and don't view myself as so lucky.

When we start out as a beautiful little soul so happy and positive, we radiate positive energy and everyone is so drawn to our spirit.

What happens to the child so full of self love and confidence?

Do you Believe? Do you believe in the power of the mind? Positive thinking is a mental attitude that anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome in every situation. Haven't you met those people that are just so darn happy no matter what happens they just seem to keep smiling? Or are you one of those people, always smiling, nice to everyone that others say to you "would you just quit being so happy all the time?"

I was always that happy, positive attitude kind of girl, until I lost it while working in place where the mental attitudes were very grim.

I am so happy to say that I left that place in order to find my former happy self. It worked!

Do you Have Hope? Do you have hope for today and for the future? You can influence your luck in life by noticing and acting on opportunities, listening to your gut feeling and coping with bad luck by imaging how life could have been worse. My motto has always been to take things one day at a time and live in the moment by enjoying the gifts of everyday life. This has worked for me so far. When I think positively and follow my instincts life is good.

I used to call it my bliss of unawareness while living in my own bubble.

Do you have faith? Studies have shown that those who have faith live a longer and happier life. I believe that we need faith in order to have hope. All of these qualities help drive the power of positive thinking.

I hope that I didn't sound like a Sunday sermon. I just wanted to share with you my inspiration behind the new bird house series that I put together for Studio Pink.
I thought it was important enough to share and I hope that it will inspire all of you to take a look into Your Beautiful Mind.

Give me some feed back and let me know your thoughts into this subject. Maybe you could share your secrets for keeping a positive attitude.

Inspiring minds want to know!

Follow your bliss,
